RE: Aduertising for Bids For Softball Fences
Earlier this year during budget discussions the fence situatian on fields #4
& �5 of Erickson Park was discussed. The situation relates to the fact that
there were 4' fences installed an those fields when they were constructed.
Outfiel.d player� j�mpin�; to catch long fly balls often find themselves
caming down on top �f ar over the fence. The result has been several minor
injuries and at least one ma�or in�ury over the past years.
Budget item �� 28 in the i989 CIP Budget addresses the finances far ttze
replacement af the outfield fences an fields # 4 & �'S. The amount bud�;eted
is $10,000.00.
The budget explanation is that a fence of either 8' or 10' in height is
needed to correct the situation as it now exists. I am requesting
authorization to notify area fence companies that we wouZd like their bifl on
the fencing material and labor for the installation af those materials.
I would be asking for a bid on tfie 8' fence and an alternate bid on the 10'
fence. The 10' fence would be the most appropriate he3ght if funding allows
for it.
The reason for this early request for authorization of bids is to allow the
caa�panies to inst.all the fence at their earliest convenfence. This would
� r�s�ure i�s of lravin� tl�e fence in place when the 1989 sofCball season starts
, in Che ist w�ek of May.
